Purple carrot powder by Comext

Purple Carrot Powder (Comext) is a plant-based ingredient produced from purple carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) and supplied as a fine powder for food, beverage, nutraceutical, and select cosmetic manufacturing. It is commonly used for its natural color contribution (anthocyanin-rich purple/red tones depending on formulation conditions) and to add recognizable “vegetable-based” positioning in clean-label product concepts.

In B2B formulation, purple carrot powder is valued for its consumer-friendly label appeal, ease of handling, and versatility across dry mixes and processed foods. Color expression can vary based on pH, heat processing, and the presence of other ingredients, so manufacturers typically evaluate performance in the intended matrix and processing conditions.

• Nutrition products (meal replacements, protein blends, stick packs)
• Nutraceuticals (powder blends where vegetable-based color/positioning is desired)
• Cosmetic / personal care (select formulations using plant powders; evaluate stability and microbial requirements)
